The downward spiral continues for former NFL player Quinton Culberson. A Hinds County grand jury indicted him in October for burglary of a church, business burglary, grand larceny, and auto burglary. The charges are just one more episode in a string of arrests and substance abuse problems over the last ten years.
The indictment alleges Culberson robbed Rosemont Church in Jackson, an apartment complex in West Jackson, and an Atmos Energy truck. He also stands accused of stealing a Playstation. Culberson is racking up as many arrests as he made tackles in the NFL. JJ reported on October 9:

Former Mississippi State University linebacker Quinton Culberson has been on a downward spiral for the last year. He was convicted of a felony DUI last year but continues to have substance abuse problems. He was arrested twice in November for business burglary and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was again arrested for violating the terms of his probation.
Culberson was an All-SEC Linebacker during his senior year at MSU. The Provine High School graduate signed with the St. Louis Rams as an undrafted rookie in 2007 and stayed on the roster for two years. He was cut by the Rams and played with the Carolina Panthers for a year.
A Hinds County grand jury indicted Culberson in July 2014 for a third-offense felony DUI. The indictment states that he was convicted of previous DUI's in Starkville and Oktibbeha County in 2013. He pleaded guilty in February 2016 to DUI Felony. Circuit Judge Bill Gowan sentenced him to serve five years in prison but suspended four years of the sentence and ordered him to serve the remaining year under house arrest. He was also placed under a three year term of supervised probation and required to submit for alcohol and drug treatment program.Culberson violated probation in 2016 when JPD arrested him for possessing drug paraphenalia and testing positive for crack cocaine. Judge Gowan allowed him to enter a drug treatment program.
Unfortunately, Culberson continued to get in trouble. A Hinds County grand jury indicted him for aggravated assault, kidnapping, and strong-arm robbery on March 10, 2020. The indictment alleged Culberson kidnapped his father, Quincy Culberson, fractured his jaw, and forced him to withdraw $60 from an ATM.The case was assigned to Circuit Judge Tomie Green where it sits on her docket. Apparently Culberson was in an alcohol rehab program (Friends of Alcoholics) in lieu of jail. If he was released from the program, he was to be returned to jail. The facility did not notify the District Attorney that Culberson left the program and was "back on the streets." Culberson apparently held a knife to the neck of another person in the program and refused to take his medication. She revoked his bond on September 30, 2021. He was finally arrested on August 29, 2022.
Culberson wasn't through getting in trouble. JPD charged him with two counts of business burglary, two counts of auto burglary, and grand larceny. The Jackson Municipal Court set his bond at $50,000 and transferred the case to Hinds County Court for a preliminary hearing.
Culberson remain in the Raymond Detention Center.

We have to see this criminal idiot when one of own and a great, Ray Guy just passed.
Clearly has some drug addiction problems and, somehow, has yet to hit rock bottom (hopefully jail will be that place so he'll get his shit together).
People have blamed his actions on CTE... I say he is just a piece of shit.
If only he had Coach Prime in his life years ago.
Obviously Culbertson needs supervised alcohol/drug treatment & recovery program. Don’t know that prison w/o treatment does any good.
No pity, no mercy.
Just another example of an athlete who thinks their talent exempts them from the law. They got by in school with failing grades but society is different.
Rick has a fine piece on Ray Guy...deserves top billing.

Wonder what his major was when he went to MSU?
This is sad stuff. I remember watching him play for three years at Provine. It is awful that his character didn't match his talent.
He assaulted a Hinds Co. deputy when he was a senior at Provine HS. Unfortunately for him he picked the wrong deputy and lost the fight. Local ministers convinced Sheriff McMillan that he was “a good boy” and charges were dropped. That said, he’s been a POS for along time.
